These mice carry a T-cell receptor (Tcra-V2, Tcra-J TA31 / Tcrb-V8.1, Tcrb-D, Tcrb-J 2.4) specific for LCMV (lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus), H2-Db . They offer the unique possibility to examine T-cell tolerance to two independent antigens with the same transgenic mouse line. First, T-cell tolerance to LCMV has been studied in transgenic mice carrying the non-cytopathic LCM virus after neonatal infection. Second, the transgenic TCR use the beta-chain variable gene segment Tcrb-V8.1 that reacts preferentially with Mlsa (mixed lymphocyte stimulatory) antigen. Ten to twenty copies of the Tcr transgene are reportedly integrated on the same chromosome. The animals are on a mixed C57BL/6 and DBA/2 background but the MHC haplotype has been checked and found to be H2b.
Zinkernagel et al, established a set of LCMV-specific cytotoxic T-cell clones from lethally irradiated B10.BR/SgSn(H-2K reconstituted with T-cell depleted C57BL/10Sn (H-2bbone marrow cells. The rearranged TCR alpha (Tcra-V2 and Tcra-J TA31) and beta (Tcrb-V8.1, TcrB-D, TcrB-J2.4) chain gene sequences from clone P14 were incorporated into transgene contructs regulated by the H-2Kbpromoter and co-injected into B6D2F2 fertilized embryos. 10-20 copies of both the alpha and beta transgenes co-integrated on the same chromosome in male founder number 327. Founder 327 was backcrossed to C57BL/6J for one generation prior to being intercrossed to make this a homozygous strain. This strain is maintained by homozygous sibling matings.

General Note | Transgenic mice carry a T-cell receptor (Tcra-V2, Tcra-J TA31 / Tcrb-V8.1, Tcrb-D, Tcrb-J 2.4) specific for LCMV (lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus), H2-Db. |
Molecular Note | The transgene carries both Tcra and Tcrb. Ten to twenty copies of the Tcr transgene were reported to have integrated on the same chromosome. At least two transgenic lines are known to exist. Line 327 is the representative line. The second line is 318. |

We will fulfill your order by providing at least two carriers for each strain ordered. The total number, sex, and genotypes provided will vary, although typically 8 or more animals are provided. Please check genotypes which will be recovered. While the genotypes of all animals produced will be communicated to you prior to scheduling shipment, the genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme and genotypes described in the strain description. Animals are typically ready to ship in 11-14 weeks. If a second recovery is required to produce the minimum number of animals, then delivery time would increase to approximately 25 weeks. If we fail to produce animals of the correct genotype, you will not be charged. We cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.
Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice. Mice recovered can be used to establish a dedicated colony to contractually supply you mice according to your requirements. Price by quotation.

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.
